You need to get something to London, KY then.

That would be me. I still have about 400 left for today if anyone's interested. 75 large straight loads from Kent, WA to Honolulu 100 small straight loads from Anchorage, AK to Saint Petersburg, Russia 50 van loads from Phoenix, AZ to Shanghai 175 Sprinter loads from Milwaukee, WI to...

Re: Jan Location On my couch watching a pig roast in New Orleans.

I've dropped 10 pounds since coming off the road. Coincidence?

Grow enough by the end of the year so I can hire full time dispatchers and free up some time for more important things like administrative duties, tracking down new freight sources, and improving my golf game.

I still have my XM even though I'm not on the road anymore, but being home the channel lineup is somewhat different. I don't listen to the trucking programs as much as I did on the road, but I do the 60s and 70s channels, the jazz and classical channels, and right now I'm listening to classical...

I needed the laugh. Even the brokers are asking for teams on loads a solo can do more often now.

Ok, here's a little clarification, since I typed that late last night. In the first case, the shipper couldn't get a forklift to the ground to load the van because of snow, but the freight was hot and they were not going to just not ship it. The shipper called in someone else to come in and...

I had a couple nice runs through New England in the fall, right before I came off the road. Good scenery and good seafood.

Here's a real situation, with names left out to protect the innocent...or guilty...depending on what side you want to take. A contractor is dispatched on a load and arrives at the shipper, but can't get loaded right away due to some problems at the shipper's facility. The dispatcher...

People who can't pay good enough attention to their driving are always going to get distracted, no matter what apparatus is at hand to facilitate it. Take everything out of the cab and those kind of drivers are likely to get distracted by cows or something.

Good luck with that.

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who...

Claycomo has to be the pickiest plant we've ever gone into. They darn near threw a fit the last time I sent a van in there to make a delivery. They have a good enough ramp for unloading vans, but always insist on dock high. On the other topic, if a truck can make it somewhere a day or two...

There is similar advice regarding pet chickens.

Currently sitting in front of the fireplace browsing the Internet on my iPad. Can't say I miss the truck stops, but I do miss the occasional lunch at Bob's Clam Hut. A short vacation to New England might be in order come spring.

I've booked three loads out of Laredo lately for a full rate, but on each of those occasions I had a customer call me with the load rather than post it. Nobody's getting full rate on a bid board load out of there right now.

Matthew 20:1-16 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2"When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3"And he went out about the third hour and saw others...

You can often get better rates on loads in the western states but you also end up sitting a bit longer sometimes. Supply and demand.
